The Acer Predator XB271HU is one of a new breed of gaming monitors that not only features the high refresh rate you expect of a gaming display but has the great image quality you’d associate with an IPS panel too.

This monitor is fantastic. It’s bright, has strong contrast and accurate colours, and the step up in the consistency of the image compared to any TN-based gaming panel is huge. Plus, as mentioned on the previous page, the out-of-the-box settings are fantastic.
